The Rules and Regulations have been established to assure a safe and orderly Line of March. Checks and completed contracts that include a copy of your group’s insurance binder are due no later than August 15th. Completed contracts not received by August 15th may result in an organization/group/band/float’s inability to participate in the parade.
